2003 Season
November 16 Maritime
PeeWee Final Sackville Titans 66
Timberlea Titans 14
Sackville scored early
and often against their smaller and younger opponents. The score was 42-0 at
halftime.
In Nova Scotia PeeWee players
cannot turn 13 until after July 1 in the year of play. In New Brunswick they
cannot turn 14 until after December 31 in the year of play. This represents a 6
month age advantage for New Brunswick that was very obvious in this game. In
previous years Nova Scotia had a three month age advantage that lead to lopsided
scores in the other direction.
Needless to say,
the two provinces need to get their age groupings the same. If this does not
happen, the future of this worthy event will be put seriously in doubt.

October 26 Capital Area Final
Albert Street Eagles 36 Oromocto
Leopards 32
The Eagles took
the opening kickoff and mounted a long drive that culminated in Elliott Carr's
two yard touchdown run. Zach Cann added the convert to put the Albert Street up
8-0. The Leopards answered back with Jordan Gardiner's 40 yard romp around left
end for six points. The convert was no good leaving Albert up 8-6 at the end of
the first quarter.
In the second quarter both
offense's kicked into high gear. Another long Eagles drive was capped by Ryan
Downe's one yard plunge for six points. The Leopards fumbled on the
ensuing kickoff return and Albert recovered. On the first play from scrimmage
Elliott Carr rumbled 40 yards for the major giving the Eagles a 20-6 lead.
The Leopards answered back on
their next offensive series when QB Jordan Heather found Seth Gillan on a 65
yard pass and run play for a touchdown. Gillan added the convert to close the
gap to 20-14.
Albert took the kickoff
and mounted another long drive that ended with Downe going in from one yard out.
Cann added the convert and the Eagles had restored their lead to 28-14.
However, Oromocto's Gillan was
not finished as he busted loose on a 50 yard touchdown run to cut the gap to
28-20 at halftime.
The defences of both
teams stiffened in a scoreless third quarter.
The Leopards cut the lead to
two when Heather hooked up with Chris Hillier on a 50 yard pass and run play.
The Eagles recovered Oromocto's attempted short kickoff and mounted another long
time consuming drive. Downe would cross the goal line from one yard out for
another six points. Cann added the convert to give the Eagles a 36-26
cushion with two minutes to play.
However, the Leopards were not
done. A good kickoff return put them at midfield. A couple of passes and they
were deep in Albert Street territory. Heather found Hillier again in the Eagles
end zone to cut the lead to 36-32.
Oromocto successfully executed a
short kickoff and were in possession of the ball at midfield. The Eagles defence
came up big stopping the Leopards on a third down gamble. Albert's offence took
the ball, gained a couple of first downs and ran out the clock. The win gave the
Eagles their second consecutive Capital Area Middle School Football
Championship.
